following What does android:layout_weight mean?
I have this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonToastSimple"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="English Toast" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonToastFancy"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:text="French Toast" />
</LinearLayout>
The link tells me buttonToastFancy will take up three quarters of the size (3/(3+1), but it's the other way round. The buttonToastSimple takes up three quarters of the screen size according to Eclipse/my AVD.
What am I doing wrong?
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="4"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonToastSimple"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="English Toast" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonToastFancy"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:text="French Toast" />
</LinearLayout>
try setting the wanted attribute to 0dp
..
ex. if you are setting the weight for the widths support, use android:layout_width="0dp"
along with the android:layout_weight="3"
. Also, don't forget the android:weightSum="4"
in the parent.
